U.S. Chamber Dwarfs Other Groups For Health Care Lobbying (H/T – Helga)

Why is the US Chamber of Commerce spending soooooo much money to stick it to the little man?

The top-spending groups on health care reform generally spent about as much lobbying last year as they did in 2008 — with one notable exception. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce stood out not only for consistently outspending other groups, but also for nearly doubling its lobbying spending over the previous year. In the fourth quarter of 2009 alone, the group’s outflows easily topped the amount spent by any other group all year.
